Let’s get specific. The full list of voting areas includes every single one of London’s administrative districts. From Camden’s literary coffee shops to Croydon’s booming box parks, you’re included. Even the tiny, ancient City of London—home to the Gherkin and the Bank of England—has a vote.
Curious about your exact spot? If you live in Westminster, Lambeth, Southwark, or Tower Hamlets, you’re golden. Same goes for Newham, Brent, Ealing, and Haringey. Basically, if your address ends with ‘London’ in the post town, you’re almost certainly eligible.
One Exception to Watch Out For
Here’s the only curveball: outer London boroughs like Hillingdon or Bexley are absolutely in the game. But what about places like Uxbridge or Romford? Yes—they’re part of Greater London. The only people who can’t vote are those living in home counties towns like Watford or St Albans. Sorry, Hertfordshire—you’re just outside the zone.
Practical tip: Check your local council name on a utility bill. If it says ‘London Borough of’ anything, you’re eligible. If it says something like ‘Essex County Council’, you’re out of luck for mayor, but you can still vote for your local authority.
